Hi! My name is Roberto Passarella, composer, arranger and bandoneón player. I am involved into music production and soundtracks.
In June 2014 I conducted my chamber composition “Mass Qoelet” in the Vatican Chancellory. The concert was broadcast by the Vatican Radio.
I am engaged in a large production of orchestral and chamber arrangements (with bandoneòn) of famous pieces of various genres, from popular songs to the tango repertoire. Some of them, like the Libertango arrangement, were played by various orchestras, among which the “Britten Sinfonia” Orchestra during the BBC Proms 2018 and the “Mitteleuropa Orchestra”.
My activity extends also to the production of soundtracks and compositional research on virtual orchestral music. An example is my Album “El Nuevo Tango Sinfonico”, for bandoneón and Symphony Orchestra, released by Centaur Records (USA).
Recently I arranged for Orchestra some of the most famous soundtracks of the composer Franco Micalizzi, including “Trinity” and “L’ultima neve di primavera”.
One of my latest works is "The Bandoneón Plays Famous Songs, that includes 7 very particular arrangements of 7 timeless songs, for bandoneón and symphony orchestra.
"Reminiscencias Rioplatenses" is my last Album, six of the most beautiful tangos arranged for bandoneón and symphony orchestra, including Libertango and Adios Nonino as a tribute to the anniversary of Astor Piazzolla (1921-1992).

Cos’è la Bottega de Ja’?
Una raccolta di racconti. E questi racconti pero’ sono musica. Improvvisazione. Incontri casuali.
Tutto in una bottega minuscola, la stessa di nonno Ja’. E lo stesso porto di mare.

I like to communicate with people, music is one of the best way so here I am with my songs. 

"STRANGER! if you, passing, meet me, and desire to speak to me, why should you not speak to me?	 
And why should I not speak to you?" (Walt Whitman)
